THE EMMAUS WALK:

A Messianic School of the Bible

AN OPEN DOOR TO THE BIBLE AND UNDERSTANDING IT

WORLD'S GREATEST BOOK CAN BE UNDERSTOOD IF GIVEN A CHANCE: Beyond question, the greatest book in the world is the Bible, and the greatest Book is about the greatest Person, Jesus Christ (Yeshua the
Anointed).

Friend, are you unable to read the Bible, that is, make sense of it? Or do some parts make sense, but others, such as Leviticus or Revelation or Romans seem totally bewildering? Are you desiring to go deeper, or reach a higher ground, spiritually, but your difficulty in comprehending scripture is holding you back? It may well be you need to consider that the Bible is essentially Messianic--that is, it exists to tell you about the Messiah and Savior, and virtually everything in the Bible points to Him. With this understanding, you are on your way to unlocking the scriptures and opening the door to Yeshua--for they are, in truth, a living Person, Jesus (Yeshua), who delights in His Name, the Word (John 1:1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

You are most welcome to review the list of the Bible books now. This is vital. In this era, when there is so little knowledge of the Bible, it can no longer be taken for granted that everyone knows what they are.

THE MESSIANIC BIBLE TEXTS--WHAT ARE THEY?

The Bible's Messianic Texts are thus named because they are passages in scripture that point specifically to the Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus in Gentile terminology). Foremost in consideration of these texts, Christ Himself chose it when conducting an informal Bible class with two distraught and troubled disciples who had left Jerusalem just after the crucifixion and were on their way to Emmaus, a village seven miles from the Holy City. This spiritual trek inspired the logo graphic at the top of our home page.

A profile of Ronald D. Ginther will follow his picture.

SMALL TOWN BOY FAR AWAY FROM HOME FINDS THE MEANING FOR HIS LIFE IN JESUS: Ronald Ginther has been a life-long resident of Puyallup, Washington, which was once a small, virtually unnoticed town of about 14,000 in Western Washington in the Puget Sound, located in a green valley of small berry-farmers and canneries and daffodil growers--now it is a medium-sized city of over 100,000, yet it retains a small-town look in the older sections. Ronald Ginther credits his faith in God to his godly mother (who is his prayer partner too at age 96) and godly father (deceased in a plane crash when he was five years old) and godly grandparents and relatives. The Lord was always near to his family. He, however, resisted grace and put off salvation until he was fifteen, attending a Christian high school in South Dakota. That was a life-changing decision, he found, though he didn't understand it at the time. Ronald Ginther says he has been most richly blessed by the living Word that the Lord has graciously given Him any time he goes to the scriptures. It is God's Word that, more than his secular education at college and university, provides his view of the world, the purpose for our life on earth, and the direction and guidance we individually need to fulfill our purpose and live in a loving way toward others. Everything we need is in Jesus Christ, and everything Jesus Christ is we can find in the Bible. It is up to us to use these resources and with prayer seek a personal Jesus who is waiting for us to call on Him. Those who seek, find. Those who do not seek, do not find. It is really simple, is it not? Feeling overwhelmed? See the song, "God has a Plan for My Life," in the link below the Bible which is your best source of help in time of need!

BEREAN-TYPE FOLLOWER OF JESUS WROTE MOST OF OUR ARTICLES, SACRIFICIALLY, AND THEN WAS TAKEN TO HEAVEN, WITHOUT SEEING ANY EARTHLY REWARD FOR ALL HIS WORK FEATURED HERE: Duane L. Smith, a Berean-type follower of Jesus who passed away suddenly early this year from cancer, was a most devoted, faithful, sacrificial instructor for THE EMMAUS WALK. Please look at his profile and other biographical information about this much missed man as we bring them back on-line on other pages. We have a number of additional prophecies and songs by Duane L. Smith that we wish to share with you soon that he wanted you to have. The first two will be "Two Prophecies" and "The Long, Lonely Road," A Song. The third to come will be "I was Hell-Bound," the song's lyrics by D.L.S. At present, I do not have the music, but they can be set to music if there is a tune available.--Ed.

ARE ALL FAITHS ON THE SAME PLAYING FIELD, AS NEW AGE AND INTERFAITH MOVEMENTS TODAY TEACH?--Continued.

An Al Qaida spokesman-terrorist has just released a tape calling for Americans to convert to Islam. A similar "offer" was given to the Queen of England by Moslem clerics in London a few weeks or several months ago. This conversion to Islam is something either they are going to force on us, or we take the consequences with death and destruction at their hands--it is not really a matter of choice. Clear and simple, this a demand. But we know that they would not be doing this if we the Christians had taken seriously Christ's Great Commission, when he said to go to the whole world and preach the Gospel and make disciples of ALL men, teaching them the things He taught so that they would observe and do them most carefully and reverently. Instead the Catholic church for centuries fought the Moslem armies, sword to sword, cannon ball to cannon ball--and the stalemate resulted that only generated great, intense, festering hatred and resentment in the Moslem world. Unable to defeat each other, Moslem powers and Catholic powers in Europe more or less co-existed after some of the most bloody, savage battles in history, fought across the Mediterranean and in the Middle East, and in Eastern Europe (up to the walls of Vienna!), and in France and Spain. This
was not a solution--it only prolonged the issue.

The true issue is this: is Christ who He said He is, or is he not? Do we all belong to Him and need to follow Him alone, or is there someone else who is God's Son or supreme representative on earth? Is Christ the Son of God and the Savior of the World, or is Allah and Mohammed his prophet the way for earth to go?
Is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob God, or is Allah? The devils knows the truth, and chose to follow Satan to their doom. The devils know that Jesus is Lord and Savior, but chose someone else. But humanity is confused. Most do not know this basic truth: that Jesus is Lord and Savior of the World. And most people are trying vainly to work their way to heaven and God's approval by their good works, a terrible mistake.

We have to all make a choice
sooner or later. It is not something you can be "born into" or inherit from your parents, though millions of Christians so-called and Moslems (it is possible to be converted to Islam but not possible to be born-agin in Islam) think so. Yeshua's dealing with Nicodemus points out clearly every human being must be born again by the Spirit of God to be a child of God, accepted and forgiven of his or her sins by the Father. It is not a religion--it is the redemptive act of Christ on the Cross and our restored relationship with God resulting from that act that saves. Because we Christians failed to bring this Good News to the Eastern peoples and those in Africa and most of Asia too, Islam filled the aching void in millions of men's empty, hungry souls. Religion always will (or sex, or materialism, or money, or power) try to fill the void. But the void can only be filled with the true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who sent His only son Jesus Christ (Yeshua, or Issa) into the world to save it by His subsitutionary death on the Cross. Mohammed died for no one. Buddha died for no one. It takes the death of a completely innocent, sinless man to do the work of the Lamb of God in substitution for our sins. Nothing less will do--and that man could only be Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, and conceived by the Holy Spirit of God. Jesus was sinless from birth to death. Now we know that Mohammed sinned, and Buddha sinned, and Zoroaster, and Confucius, and every other holy man sinned. So, no man born of an earthly father and an earthly mother, both born in sin by sinful parents, was ever good enough to die for us--only the man Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, and conceived by the Holy Spirit could be the holy, perfect, innocent, immaculate, sinless Lamb of God. There is no other way to be saved, to be born again
as a true child of God, to know true life and receive eternal life with God in heaven, except through this perfect Son of God, Jesus Christ and what He accomplished for us, which we could never do, nor could any holy man, do for ourselves since we were sinner s, condemned to death and hell.

All else will not work, for God has prepared only this one way--as the Bible testifies. There is no Mohammed or Buddha or Hare Krishna in the Bible--they are found in other books which God did not inspire--claims to the contrary, notwithstanding. Jesus Christ himself verifies and affirms again and again the Bible as God's word. He quoted from it many times, and there was no error in it! He said to the Samaritan woman at the well in Sychar, "Salvation is of the Jews." How so? Well, God gave His Jewish people the Word of God, which was the only Word of God on earth still remains the only Word of God on Earth. The Jews could save nobody, not even themselves (for many of them went to hell for their sins), but the Word of God given to them could save if believed. God has only this one holy Book of Life. There is no addition, no sequel, no
series--there is only the Bible, the Word of God. All other "holy" books will not avail
for new life and eternity in heaven, because however inspired and exalted they may seem, they are not God's Book. Even a book cannot save, even if it is the Bible, if it is not believed and that Word comes into a person's soul, bringing forth repentance, a transformation, and new life! A Bible on the coffee table saves nobody. Even a theologian is not saved by how much he knows about the Bible, or how much he can quote from memory. Even parrots can quote scriptures (as a missionary aunt's of mine did to visitors at her house in Brazil!), but the parrot was not saved. Only God, acting through the Word, can save us by His Spirit. We are regenerated, brought to life from an utterly dead spirit to a living spirit of Christ--but the Word does it, activated by the Spirit of God. Otherwise, the coffee table would be saved--right--because the Bible is lying upon it! (That is the thinking of so many deceived people who suppose they are Christians by mere church attendance or association with Christians or being children raised by Christian parents, when they are not truly born again, regenerated, saved Christians!)

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life," Yeshua (Jesus, Issa) says. "No man comes to the Father but by Me." That saves, when the Spirit of God
implants it in a humble person's soul, producing the regeneration of that person's spirit from a state of death to a state of eternal life and fellowship with God.
Nothing else will do! As the scripture says, "Let God be true, and every man a liar.

I personally did this--I went to God, and called on Jesus Christ to be my personal Lord and Savior, and I confessed my sins. God in an instant, forgave me all my sins, past, present, and future--and I was regenerated on the spot, made a New Creature in Christ, for all eternity. It was all God's doing, but I had to submit to God's way, I had to submit to Jesus Christ, the only Way God provided for me, a sinner, to be forgiven and saved and regenerated and made an heir of Christ and co-laborer with Him on Earth.

I choose to believe Jesus Christ speaking to me in the Word over any man, however many holy robes he has on, or turbans, or vestments, and how many holy orders he has to his credit, or how much theological training he has had. Jesus alone is necessary for my salvation, He alone is sufficient, now and for all eternity. All other claimants and pretenders will fade away and be utterly cast into shame and outer darkness, for no one can take the place of Jesus Christ and what He is and did for us sinners. All Praise to God and His Son Jesus Christ!--Ed.

EVER BEEN REJECTED FOR AN UNFAIR, UNJUST REASON? Surely, you haven't escaped rejection, by
someone you loved, or still love, or by a group, or even by your family and your church! Rejection, in its various numerous forms, is universal. Your peers in school will customarily reject you if you do not act and think and dress as they do--that is a grim fact of life in schools ("individualism" is not really dominant in American society, since the herd always moved with the contemporary tide--what is generally accepted and popular and approved by the ruling groups who decide for the majority, and the "guiding elites" of the majority can be dead-wrong). Also, the Bible warns us as Christians that rejection is a difficult thing to avoid in life, if you hold to your beliefs and do not compromise. The Amish, for example, use shunning or exclusion from their religious community, as a means to keep the community's solidarity and deal with wayward individuals. Society uses the same means, for social reasons (and this includes families and clans). Even gangs and mafioso use such means, along with a gun or knife if all else fails! St. Paul used it in the Corinthian church, which was approving a man living with his mother-in-law! But rejection can be unwarranted--utterly. Rejection can also be experienced in marriage--and this, like in
the matter of faith, can be excruciating for anyone to experience--particularly for the innocent party. Yet Christ, the Rejected One of God, can identify and be of true help and comfort to the rejected person:

EARLY ALASKA MISSION'S ACCOUNT, RE-PUBLISHED HERE SOON: We plan to present "A-Yang-E-Lokh-Tokh," ["God's Man'], an account of
the sacrificial evangelism in Alaska among the Eskimo (Inuit) people of the western Alaska coastlands, so please return for it, as it reaffirms what made Japanese evangelist Paul Ariga so effective in reaching his own people--sacrificial life and prayer and fasting to go with the love of Jesus and love for souls!--this is the recipe, we see, for a truly successful mission.

MOUTH PAINTING OF JESUS CHRIST, BY A MS-CHALLENGED LADY! This painting was done by Athena V. Smith, a longtime family friend of
my family's, who passed away recently. This was a labor of love and a miracle in itself. She painted this by mouth, being confined to bed most all her adult life by MS. She loved Jesus more than life itself, and the MS and the
bed-confinement was not a Cross to her--but a launching pad to ministry and love of others!

PRAYER IS ESSENTIAL TO A CHRISTIAN. Prayer is the keystone of a successful, fruitful Christian faith, it must be said. Without prayer, faith in the Lord will remain sterile and eventually fail.

Read the article by Bernice Schaefer on prayer. She is the late aunt of Ronald Ginther, and wife of a long-time Bible school teacher in Atascadero, California.

OUR RESURRECTION (EASTER) QUIZ PROVES EXTREMELY POPULAR: Check out this very popular Resurrection Day quiz--and learn everything you thought you knew but didn't! Easter, so-called, is all about the Earth-changing Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and all it signifies--which is everything. Without Easter, there simply is no Christian faith--and this quiz will show you exactly why this is an indisputable fact; i.e., no Resurrection... no Christ, no Christianity, no hope, no sin forgiven, no life worth having here and hereafter! That isn't a complete list either.

GOD'S JUDGMENT IS FALLING ON GREAT CORPORATIONS, NOT JUST GREAT NATIONS: We can hear or read or see the news these days, and it doesn't carry the message it should--that God omnipotently and sovereignly is moving in this world, in this time and space, in specific incidents. It all seems to be "just happening" and so, by our prophetic default and prophetic ignorance, it is entertainment or mere noise on the screen or the air waves. But God has always acted in space and time--He created them after all for His kingdom! They are HIS dimensions, and though He transcends them, He hasn't--like the classic Deists were supposed to believe, but like the deeply religious Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, didn't--acted like the proverbial but highly whimsical master clockmaker who makes a very fine clock and then walks away and leaves the thing ticking until it winds down all by its lonesome self. No clockmaker worth his Rollexes will act like that Deist clockmaker! And no Creator-God either! God is intimately involved with His creation--and Deism is false--sorry, ACLU, you have no argument here against America being founded on Christian foundations! The original documents all support a Christian foundation for America and it system of government!

We really need to reread Genesis--for Genesis proves God was intimately involved with His creation from the first, no matter what "happened." He didn't make sin "happen," but when it "happened" he had a perfect Cure ready--the Promised Seed of Woman.

Until the Seed of Woman--Jesus Christ--came into the world at the right appointed time to suffer and die for all our sins, restoring us to God our Father as His children--God as Jehovah acted in most practical, compassionate, loving ways--providing the malefactors their clothing, providing protection for them and their children against worse sin, and in all ways acting like a loving Creator-Father would act.

So too at this present time--in 21st century America or the other nations of this world: God is intimately, daily, minute by minute, involved with us, in this time, in this place! Well, by logical extension, the business world where most of us spend some good part of our working day, is also intimately involved with God. It is not sacrosanct, it is not a moral no-man's land, as university professors of economics have taught their classes for decades. On the contrary! Business is God's purlieu, and He can and does intervene anytime He so chooses--objecting economists notwithstanding! How can that be proved?

On the news today, it is clear that God is involved with GM and its withdrawal from sponsorship for the ungodly product of morally-diseased minds, the so-called "Survivor" TV series. GM is too much a moral coward to say why, naturally, so we will speak the truth for GM's morally-challenged leadership. The show has endorsed politically incorrect racial stereotypes, racial profiling and separation of contestants by "ethnicity--the divisive race card is being played here for sensationism and the big buck and boost ratings, in other words.

Now back to our point: God is dealing with corporations--which are groups of real people--not faceless entities or buildings or products and factories. These particular groups of people have endorsed very ungodly things like abortion and same sex marriage and gay sex and denial of the Lord Jesus Christ in preference to the gods of this world--money, power, sex, celebrity--all in favor and support of America's politically correct gods--Diversity, Multiculturalism, Ecology, Feminism, Interfaith and New Age Religion, and so on. We are seeing God's judgment on corporations (which are mere human creations, that will crash and all fade away into nothing someday). Why judgment? Simple: their ungodly practices that defy God's authority over them. To name a few of these judged corporations that are going downhill at a fast clip--GM, World.com, Enron, United (a particular choice target of terrorists, right?), Pay N' Save (long defunct, thanks to the Donald's mismanagement and cupidity), Ford, IBM, and
this is just a tiny but significant list of proud, ungodly, godless corporations
in this country. God is bringing down the giants, from high places they thought they would never have to give up. God is dealing with them, giving them rope to hang themselves, allowing them to go so far, but now he is also evidently befuddling the leadership, leading them into the pits of profitless folly, withdrawing the blessing of prosperity from them. This is a "revolutionary word," to be sure. I have not heard it anywhere, from anyone. Christian leaders just don't dare speak up. But if God doesn't judge ungodly sin, He ceases to be God, and the ACLU and the Ruling Humanists of our secularized society have won--they have defeated the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob whom they hate with a passion! But the events on the Cross and the Resurrection tell us without question the Devil and his organizations are defeated--whether that is evident now or not. Let's review Psalm 1, everyone. Where in it does the ungodly triumph?
Nowhere. God is always triumphant, Genesis to Revelation. The defeat of God His enemies are working night and day for isn't ever going to happen--GOD IS ALIVE AND WELL IN HIS UNSTOPPABLE OMNIPOTENCE, AND HE IS STILL THE GOD OF SINAI AND MOSES, AND HE STILL HAS A TEN COMMANDMENTS HE HOLD US ALL--INCLUDING INDIVIDUALS AND CORPORATIONS AND CITY GOVERNMENTS LIKE MAYOR NAGIN'S IN NEW ORLEANS--RESPONSIBLE TO. What part of "responsible" don't we understand? Based on Psalm 1:

R--for Righteousness exalts a nation, ungodliness brings it down to shame and
destruction!

E--for God the three-Personed Elohim of Genesis is still the God of all the earth!

S--for Salvation rests in Christ Jesus alone--not in any other god manufactured by men and nations and corporations and Madison
Avenue advertizing or Hollywood!

O--for Only Jesus can turn this nation around and save it (including the terrorists, who are
going to be judged too for their cruel, bloody, vengeful, ungodly acts but also are ALLOWED BY GOD TO ACT TEMPORARILY AND IN A LIMITED WAY as God's instruments of judgment on our sins if we stubbornly keep going the ungodly way we have been going!

N--for New Life is given us in Jesus, by asking Him to be our Savior and Lord--there is no New Life and life everlasting in any other Name on earth (sorry, Dr. Phil and Ophrah
can get standng ovations by simply walking on stage in front of the audience and cameras but they cannot give us true Life and eternal blessedness in heaven!)

S--for Sin is the basic, foundational problem with us--it is our "big, huge, major problem"--not someone else, or
genes, or events, or Republicans, or George Bush, or Osama Bin Laden, or
poverty, or social injustice, or the UN, or chemical dependency, or my bad luck, or whatever--sin is our problem, individually and collectively.

I--for I need to be down-to-the-nitty-gritty-honest with God--I cannot fool everyone around me, and fool myself, but I can never, never, not one instant, fool God--He sees everything--every act, every thought, and every feeling I have, or will ever have--how can I be unreal with Him?--I need to get real with God before my time on earth runs out!

B--Believing God's Word will turn me and my falling nation around--and God's Word is always true and right for whatever I am going through or facing!

I--for Into a church that truly believes the Bible, cover to cover, and preaches it cover to cover, I need to go, in order to continue to know God better and better and also learn how to be a servant of others, Christians and non-Christians!

L, I, T, Y--you can fill them out, okay?--you can finish the acronym as well as I can, and Psalm 1, the first, foundational Psalm for our lives, will give you all you need for those last four letters and principles.--Ed.

DID YOU KNOW THAT SWITZERLAND'S NAME IS HELVETIA, AND THAT THIS PROUD, AFFLUENT NATION PROFITED FROM JEWISH HOLOCAUST VICTIMS? Switzerland (whose name is Helvetia), is, like Sweden, a nation that profits from war and suffering and bad economies in other nations, for it will take part in no war, other than to defend itself from an aggressor. There is an irony and contradiction in that isolationist position, is there not?

War can be just, as God defines just wars in His Word. God is a God of war, not only of peace. As Ecclesiastes states, there is a time for war, and a time for peace. War is not an aberration, as secular humanists like to think. War can become a necessity, if we are to preserve our freedom and our lives against tyrants and aggressors.

God is not, like us, in danger of international aggression by rogue states or terrorist organizations. But He himself is continually at war with sin and the Devil, and though they are defeated foes, they are, like the headless snake, still wriggling vigorously about in this sin-sick world and still doing a lot of damage to souls. It is foolish to deny the reality of sin and the necessity of just warfare. To take a pacifist position, in regard to sin, is folly. Sin will defeat you, unless you take an offensive position against it, actively opposing sin in your life. Sin will defeat me, the writer, unless I actively oppose it, and surrender myself to Christ daily in repentance. If this were a righteous world, Helvetia and Sweden would be the general rule, and their present position would be righteous. As it is, they are held responsible to God's Word--which judges unjust scales. The Bible says over and over that God hates unjust scales! Swiss scales are unjust, when it comes to war and peace, and economics as well. They have profited from international crime, from tyranny, from economic depressions, from the suffering even of God's Chosen People, the Jews, before and during World War II when Hitler and the
Nazis confiscated and stole the German Jew's banked money, fortunes, houses, shops, factories, and and possessions, not to mention, killing as many as they could get their claws on. When called to account for this
traffiking in human souls and this unconscionable profiteering on the pelf of
crime lords and tyrants, they show no shame or remorse--only arrogance and the self-assurance of people who presume to think they can never be held to account by the rest of the world. They have always looked down from their hitherto unconquerable mountain fastnesses and despised those below who dared call them to account. But international law--which, surprisingly, is somewhat based on ethics--is reaching them of late! They are being brought, kicking and screaming and dragging their heels, to account for swallowing billions of dollars of Jewish funds from the World War II period.

Of course, the more important thing is revival and repentance in Hevetia, not just just reparations to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust! Germany has made a considerable attempt to repay the Israelis in money, as a sign of accepting its guilt for its treatment of the Jews in World War II and the years of Hitler's rise to power. But Switzerland? It has been very tardy, indeed! It continued, all these years since the Second World War, to sit on billions of Jewish assets--profiting from them--while Jews suffered and died in poverty, while the rich, well-housed, comfortable Swiss held those Jews' funds and valuables in their banks. What a crime against humanity, and what a crime against the Jewish People, the Chosen People of God, and the Apple of God's Eye!

LAST ARTICLE BY DUANE L. SMITH TAKES AIM AT UNDERSTANDING EINSTEIN'S WORK IN REGARD TO THEISM AND THEOLOGY: Here is the last article ever written by Duane L. Smith:

To Abraham God said: "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing."--Genesis 12:2. This blessing holds for descendants of both his sons Isaac and Ishmael

John 3:16 in Arabic:

A Rose of CHRIST YESHUA'S Love for the Beloved Moslem People

MOSLEM BORN AND BRED TARIQ FADI CONVERTED TO BEING A FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE THE CHRISTIAN MAN HE PERSECUTED LOVED HIM ANYWAY: To all the beloved Moslem people, a word about a remarkable, young man from the Moslem community of Egypt: Tariq Fardi, who was born again and Spirit-filled after growing up a bitter, "holy war" jihadist-like persecutor of Coptic Christians in his homeland of Egypt, appeared on Perry Stone's
program on TBN. He stoned an older Christian man (a Coptic Christian, I believe) almost to death, who when he was recovered forgave him! That proved Tariq's turning point in life, as it touched his heart, that someone he had hurt so badly would forgive him in the spirit of love. Saved seven years ago, Tariq Fardi is a fervent lover of the Lord Jesus and a scholarly man who reads the Koran [the Mohammed-authored holy book, the Furqan) in the original tongue, and you can probably access this program via Perry Stone's website (or please use his email address given here):

THE TRUTH OF THE BIBLE WILL CONVERT ANYBODY IF GIVEN A FAIR HEARING ON THE BASIS OF CREDIBLE EVIDENCE PROVIDED BY THE BIBLE ITSELF: The truth of the Bible is so forceful, if given a chance,
it can convert anybody from a totally hostile position. Read "We Tried to Prove It Wrong," which tells of the Olsens, a young doctor and wife team, who tried to
set out to methodically disprove the Bible and ended up working for decades as medical missionaries! They were so certain they could disprove the Bible over scientific inaccuracies, yet after months of serious questioning they had to give it up--the Bible had won the contest of accuracy!

THE SACRED COW IS FINALLY BEING TURNED OUT OF THE CHINA SHOP! EVOLUTION'S FOUNDATIONS ARE FAST CRUMBLING BENEATH IT: Scientists are turning from atheism and evolution and even starting up "Creation Museums," centers of real facts and real artifacts--not just unproven theories and meager fragments of bone--showing conclusive truth about the earth's origins and development that overturn the absurd Theory of Evolution (which cannot be true in the macro-sense). Dr. Carl Baugh was a former atheist, who could no longer hold to untenable atheism and proofless evolutional explanations of the Earth, so that he became a follower of Christ while remaining an excellent scientist in pursuit of the truth. Creation Museums, such as the one he has founded, are springing up in many places, despite the ridicule and defamation of
secular-humanists and evolutionists in high educational circles and in the press:

CONTEMPORARY LIBERAL REVISIONISM VS. THE TRUTH: American history is being revised and rewritten, as we know, so that
there is nothing of value shown the students of America in Western Civilization, and
Christianity is also defamed and made to look absurdly stupid as well as a hotbed of hate crimes. Nothing could be farther from the truth regarding both Western Civilization and Christianity. They have created the greatest societies on earth, greater and freer than anything the world ever saw before them (despite the horrible depravity unleashed by secular humanism and the rebelliousness and lawlessness of self-oriented, untaught, undisciplined younger generations who recognize no morality or heed any restraint of God or man on their behavior!). Yet from the interpretations and analysis given them today by public school teachers, administrators, and college academicians, they are both colossal mistakes. It is strange, indeed, that the very people who benefited most from Western Civilization and Christianity are the most ardent detractors. Where would these same individuals be if Western Civilization, with its foundation of Judaeo-Christian values and beliefs and institutions, had not created those advantages they now take for granted and utterly despise? Please go to the alternative, David Barton, who can set American history right on track again, if American educators will ever wake up from the psychosis of secular-humanism and reaffirm genuine knowledge and genuine scholarship:

WITCHCRAFT AND SATANISM, NOT JUST ISLAM, ARE FILLING THE VAST SPIRITUAL VOID CREATED BY SECULAR HUMANISM IN AMERICAN SOULS: We in America are experiencing the horrible interpersonal trauma and social disruption and spiritual impoverishment of a society
being enveloped by a Duvalier-like voodoo bondage that will certainly, if not checked and reversed, destroy a once great society, just as it destroyed Haiti until the present
overthrow of voodoo and the re-awakening of Christianity in that island nation:

Dave Hunt, author of "The Seduction of Christianity," can explain the spread of WICCA and how it is being masterminded, as a world-wide movement, by Satan himself:

PAUL WAS AN ACTIVIST, SO WERE THE OTHER APOSTLES, AND THEY FOLLOWED THE EXAMPLE OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVIST OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST! Are you an activist and want to make a difference in this world? America desperately needs activists who will support what God values in a society. Do you have time for emailing your beliefs and support of what is moral and right to those who are profiting wrongly on what is immoral and wrong? Legislators, businesses, sponsors of lewd TV shows or books, they all urgently need to hear from you as a Christian. I am not asking you to do what I have not been doing myself. We are all called to stand up for the Lord and His commandments, but there is a special way you can make a mark on this culture instead of it always making a mark on you! Be an activist for Christ--remembering that you always state the truth IN
LOVE, just as He did with the Samaritan woman at the well.
